How to Build A High Resilient Organization?Multi-case Study Based on the Resource Conservation Theory
In a complex environment,many Chinese enterprises have difficulties in production,but there are some excellent resilient enterprises that can turn crises into opportunities and achieve stable development.Taking three Chinese listed private enterprises that have persevered through challenges and maintained stable operations as examples,following the resilience analysis approach of"external changes promoting internal growth",and combining with resource conservation theories,we propose a research framework of"scenario stimulus(external crisis shock)→ resource conservation(internal resilience response)→ formation of highly resilient organizations(manifestation of resilience characteristics)"to explore the formation path of highly resilient organizations.The research findings are as follows:(1)high resilient organizations,by effectively deploying resources,show timely strong correlation,creativity and buffering resilience characteristics required for crisis response.(2)the formation of highly resilient organization is the result driven step by step by cognitive elements,behavioral elements,and outcome elements in the four stages of risk identification,resource integration,resource accumulation,and resource value realization.(3)there are two types of formation paths for highly resilient organizations:Challenge-oriented and compensation-oriented.The conclusion of this study has certain guiding significance for enterprises to survive and sustainable development in complex environment.
